Meg and i have had a great few days adventure, driving to #Thurso in #Scotland to collect this magnificent #MGTC (1948) and deliver to specialists in
North Scottish coastline with broken clouds, a cliff headland and a beach with a road in the foreground.
Can't get much further north in the #UK as we're now in #Thurso where I'm informed we're as far up as #Alaska. Well who knew that one.
Tomorrow we depart with a 1948 #MG #TC on board a fine vintage.
A big adventure for me and Meg dog for the next few days, off to #Scotland, to visit #Thurso and then back down to #Grantham for Tuesday.

Sc 11 Thurso (I) an incomplete runic inscription which says '… made this overlay in memory of Ingulfr, his/her father.'
Sc 15 Thurso (II) an incomplete runic inscription, most likely a memorial, which says '… Gunnhildr his wife …'
Also this morning I popped into the North Coast Visitor Centre in #Thurso to see the two #runic inscriptions which have been found in that town. They're very nicely displayed in a room with some cool Pictish stones too. See app.raa.se/open/runor/i... and app.raa.se/open/runor/i...
On the left, the Bishop's Castle, or Scrabster Castle (with added wartime gun emplacement) and Scrabster pier in the background.
The site which may have been the Bishop's palace referred to in ch. 111 of the Saga of the Earls of Orkney.
In #Thurso this morning, I checked out the site which is possibly that mentioned in the #SagaoftheEarlsofOrkney ch. 111, where it says that 'The bishop was in the palace at Scrabster'. The word I translated as 'palace' is 'borg', which is also used of brochs, and the site may once have been a broch.
The beach at Thurso with Hoy in the distance.
Arrived in #Thurso last night after 13 hours on 5 trains... And now #Orkney is on the horizon.
